Montréal Restaurants

  1. Café Croissant De Lune Z

    This is people-watching central anytime, for breakfast, lunch or dinner. A café au lait and one or two of the fresh sweet buns or croissants, served in the sun on the street-front terrace, will hold you over for hours. The burgers and sandwiches are great too.

  2. Chez Clo

    Homey atmosphere and good-value Québécois breakfasts have made this corner diner an institution for the best part of two decades. Slide onto a breakfast stool and order eggs, bacon, baked beans and cretons (pork drippings) or return for Québec specialties such as tourtière (meat pie), poutine or ragoût de boulettes , all in view of the monumental Nativité de la Ste-Vierge church.

  3. Chez Cora

    The beloved breakfast standard. You'll recognize this chain right away with its bright cheerful décor and menus. The menus are so creative and so varied you'll literally find anything you've ever wanted for breakfast and more. Try Récolte 90 - egg, bacon, French toast with raisins and an avalanche of fruit (around C$9 ). There are several other branches around town including one in the The Village (1017 rue Ste-Catherine Est).

  4. Cluny Artbar

    Hyper young chefs dole out ultra-stylish café fare in this renovated factory shared with the Fonderie Darling art space. Tables are made of recycled bowling lanes and beams and pipes hang from the high ceilings. The menu changes daily so try the lunch special, their hot or cold soups or the whopping antipasto plate with a glass of wine. Their breakfast menu includes everything from croissants to huevos rancheros .

  5. l'Avenue

    Socialites will line up outside at 40 degrees below for an overpriced breakfast, such is the pull of this hopelessly trendy restaurant. The chic set is always well represented, nibbling at a golden croissant or sculpted melon ball, fully aware of the other hipsters doing the same thing. The washrooms are so cool they're worth a visit.
